Since today was a snow day, I decided to cook something that would take forever. I've got a nice pot roast simmering on the stove with celery, onions, and bay leaves (I also snuck a drop or two of cognac into the pot). I'm about to add some carrots as well. Then I'll peel and cube some potatoes to make homemade mashed potatoes. I believe we will also have some spinach or maybe some broccoli as well.
